Friday food for thought

Breakfast is by far my favourite meal of the day. And although I love farls (with nutella? Heaven!), my favourite breakfast is by far smoked salmon and poached eggs with hollandaise sauce and a sliced muffin (the English type of course!)

My crotch hurts – sorry, that’s probably not you wanted to hear on a Friday morning, but I’m telling you, spinning isn’t all about happy sweating and thighs of steel (not that mine are anywhere near that stage – but I can safely say I’m no.1 contributor to the sweat production in that little studio)

I’m going to one of my local schools in a couple of weeks to hold a stand at a careers fair. I’m rather excited. I’ll be eating in the cantine and hanging out with the teachers. I feel like I’m 14 again.

Couple of birthdays coming up – I can’t make my mind up as to what cakes to make – I may have to make several things and let people in the office get fat. They're mostly blokes so they’ll love me for it anyway!

Last night's dinner was super lush. Give it a go, chicken with polenta (we swapped the chicken for turkey breasts and it was still super lush). Recipe from here.

And after that, I made little parcels of lushious peanut butter and chocolate chips. Recipe from here. Puffs all in my belly :-)

And because I know you need to see a little close up to convince you to make these babies (in no time I'd like to say and you only need puff pastry, peanut butter, chocolate chips, a little milk and granulated sugar) - you will thank me for it - ok maybe your thighs won't (what's with this thigh obsession today?!) but noone said you had to stuff it all down your gob in one go - just saying

edited to add: And Sue at the Quince Tree has received my little giveaway - well done Royal Mail for not loosing it!!

I really want to try spinning! Now I've joined a new gym where classes are included in the price I'm going to try and do a class a week. I'm doing something called Pump next week which is very intriguing. But spinning is next on my list.

Good job those things are made with peanut butter which is the food of the devil or I might just have been tempted to bake them!

Flitterbee - hi!!You don't like chocolate??? I'm not sure what to say to that! It would definitely taste fine without chocolate, and substituting it for some nice strawberry jam for example would be lush I'm sure!

Thanks for coming, it's lovely to have you here! Please don't be shy, leave me a comment to let me know you've stopped by, I love to read what you think. I'll aim to reply in the comments section of my posts. Merci!!
